Thanks for the info, Martial! Bloodsong, why are you still using v. 1.2.54??? Criminy! You just got Rhino---you have Vue---but you use Wizip 6 and 3DX 1.2 and 1/2! Wussup wit' dat? Don't make no sense! scratching head in disbelief ;) Don't get mad---been a while since I took a shot at YOU! BTW, the 1.6 version has fixed the 3DS export---so they say, and will also allow .lwo, v. 5.6 and 6.0--- I don't know about older versions, but 1.6 also imports/converts .3dm models, as well as .3mf (3Dmf). I find it TREMENDOUSLY useful! Also, how come you had nothing to say about my big Amorphium/Vue post below a little ways? I was certain you'd have some insight on THAT one! grrrrrrrrrrr.....
